Adventure Framework 49: Nest Beyond the Stars
Danger: Moderate.
Pages: 12 (exc cover & credits).
Map: Yes
Master Ballard ¸ scholar and artefact hunter¸ has a problem. The last expedition he sent searching for the Quotaal Ziggurat in the Suurat Jungle vanished without a trace¸ and he's in need of a second crew to go find them (and the pyramid¸ not necessarily in that order...). And this time Ballard's coming too - just to make sure nothing else goes wrong. Can the PCs locate the ziggurat¸ plunder its treasures¸ and keep their employer alive? Not if the Reptile Gods have anything to say about it.
Every Adventure Framework is set in a generic medieval or ancient fantasy location¸ with enough meat to enable the GM to improvise details (with minimal prep) and adapt to player choices. System wise¸ these adventures use the Low Fantasy Gaming RPG (an old school/modern mix d20 based game; free PDF)¸ but are easily adapted to any d20 system.
Armed with a handful of Adventure Frameworks¸ you can sandbox like there's no tomorrow. Browse through your library of AF's¸ throw out a few hooks¸ and let the players bite where they may. Whatever direction they take¸ you'll be ready to handle it with aplomb. Hope you enjoy.
